A method for treating water high in sulfate includes passing the water at a temperature of 10 C. to 45 C. through a nanofiltration membrane module and a reverse osmosis membrane module in series such that the retentate stream from the nanofiltration membrane module is fed to the reverse osmosis membrane module. A first permeate stream from the nanofiltration membrane module has at least 90% lower sulfate content than the feed stream. A second permeate stream from the reverse osmosis membrane module has at least 95% lower sulfate content than the retentate stream from the nanofiltration membrane module. The first and second permeate streams are combined to form a treated stream containing less than 40 ppm sulfate. A system including the nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membrane modules in series is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to processes and systems for ammonia recovery and/or acid-gas separation. In some embodiments, a system for acid gas separation may be integrated with an ammonia abatement cycle employing a high temperature absorber. In some embodiments, a system for acid gas separation may employ a higher temperature absorber due to the lower energy consumption and cost of the integrated ammonia abatement cycle. Advantageously, heat may be recovered from the absorber to power at least a portion of any acid gas desorption in the process. Reverse osmosis or other membranes may be employed.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for systems for removing contaminants from a leachate, methods of removing contaminants from a leachate, and the like.

An integrated, membrane-based process to produce purified water and conversion of salt to high value chemicals from oil and gas well produced water is described. A liquid stream including water and dissolved salt is flowed through pretreatment units and one or more desalination and concentration units which remove at least a portion of the water to form a brine enriched in dissolved salt. The purified high-density brine may be subjected to electrically-enforced salt dissociation techniques to produce chemicals from oil and gas produced water.

A method of removing chemical contaminants from a composition comprising an active, a solvent, and a contaminant can include providing an initial feed supply, wherein the initial feed supply comprises the active, the solvent, and the contaminant, wherein the contaminant can include 1,4 dioxane, dimethyl dioxane, or a combination thereof; including filtering the initial feed stock through a nanofilter.

A system and method for producing very high concentration brine streams from which commercially efficiently obtained minerals may be obtained is produced by a dual membrane brine concentrator system (DTRI Concentrator). The system includes a nano-filtration system which removes divalent ions from the seawater, a brine concentrator such as a hollow fine fiber forward osmosis system which receives and further concentrates the brine rejected from the nano-filtration system, a SWRO system which receives the NF system permeate and removes monovalent ions, and another brine concentrator which further concentrates the brine rejected from SWRO system. Various permeate and reject brine flow may be forwarded through the Dual Membrane Brine Concentrator system, and multiple stages of the system components may be used, to enhance brine concentration and improve system efficiency.

A water injection process plant includes a catalytic deoxygenation unit located subsea that makes use of a reducing agent sent from topsides in liquid form. The catalyst is preferably a palladium catalyst or its equivalent. The reducing agent is an oxygen scavenger such as but not limited to hydrazine, carbohydrazide, sodium erythorbate, methyl ethyl ketoxime (MEKO), hydroquinone, diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA), formic acid (methanoic acid). A chemical umbilical can be used to deliver the reducing agent to a mixer located upstream of the deoxygenation unit, where the agent is mixed with seawater containing oxygen.

A fluid conditioning unit is provided that includes a housing, a cap, a cartridge device, and a filter cartridge. The cap is threadably secured to and unsecured from the housing by rotation about an axis of the housing. The cap forms a removable seal with the housing when secured thereto. The cartridge device is secured to the cap in a manner that restricts movement of the cartridge device with respect to the cap along the axis but allows rotation of the cartridge device with respect to the cap about the axis. The filter cartridge is removably secured to the cartridge device and is disposed in the housing along the axis.

The present disclosure is generally directed to a desalination system. In some embodiments, the desalination system includes one or more recycle seawater systems configured to receive one or more concentrated brine streams produced by the desalination system and generate one or more recycle brine streams using the one or more concentrated brine streams and desalinated water.
